I've understood the main problem but now the next problem
comes to my mind.

If lynx already knows the conversion from euc-jp to utf-8
then the following

could be a problem.  I prepared two screen shots to show
the problem.  Please visit
http://www1.pm.tokushima-u.ac.jp/~kohda/lynx/
and kterm.png is a screen shot of lynx on kterm (correct screen)
and uxterm.png of lynx on uxterm (wrong screen).

Is this a problem of terminal or of conversion mechanism?
And is it possible to fix this in a short time, i.e. before 
2.8.7?
